Nepotism did.Long before blockchains, DAOs, or proof-of-work, power was already being distributed through a closed system — last names, family ties, and insider access. In this episode, I break down why nepotism is the most durable token economy ever built, how it operates on Proof-of-Bloodline vs Proof-of-Work, and why it still outperforms merit-based systems today.
